Hi everyone, maker here. I created this little app in a day as an experiment for a friend who was comparing the differences in the wages if she was to get the same job in different location in the UK. I will look to expand it in the future to world locations. Any thoughts, recommendations or feedback are welcome :-)

@adammydesign Nice work Adam, this is simple, easy to use and does the job. Thanks for taking the time to build it ship it and share it with us :)
@fredrivett Thanks Fred :) Glad you like it. I will build on it if people continue to use it and maybe add more geographical points for the rest of the world. Thanks again :)

@adammydesign Good job man! Awesome to have some salary transparency out there in tech.
@aelxnguyen Thanks Alex. I know some aren't exactly what you can expect because they are grouped by general type of work, but gives a good idea for what to expect.
@mikeswcho thanks Sung. Note taken. I will add it to the site later today I think. It should be giving options for the locations via Google but I can see autocomplete would be more useful.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and up votes, definitely wasn't expecting this much response 👍 This one day project is definitely going to grow in the near future into something bigger and better with more accurate results and worldwide comparisons of your choice. If anyone has anything they would find useful, please let me know :-) Thanks again.
@andreyyanovskiy Hi Andrey. The figures that are being pulled are from a site called adzuna.co.uk. The best/quickest source for salaries that I could find in the 9 hour work day that I built it in. The downside of using this is that the results are based on a category of similar jobs rather than the specific job itself. The more accurate option that I was hoping for was to pass and just calculate the salaries from the job search. Unfortunately a lot of the ones I looked at (including the one I used), didn't feed the salary into the API and if they did then it was lacking a lot of other potential data. If it continues to get used I will invest some time into it and work out a more accurate way of getting potential salaries. Thanks for taking a look though and providing feedback. It is very much appreciated 👍

Nice job dude, although I'd suggest that Glassdoor already offers this with likely cleaner, more relevant data sources: https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Sala...
@cpresc Thanks for this Chris. I definitely agree but I don't feel too bad about it as mine was a one day project. I will definitely be updating Salary Hunt in the near future with a cleaner look, world comparisons and a higher quality set of data sources. Salary Hunt 2.0 incoming :-) I can definitely use the site you have pointed to as a resource for guidance etc so thank you for taking the time to post it Chris :-)
